A Summer Celebration of Song

This past weekend Jordan and I were lucky enough to be invited to go to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir summer concert with our good friends Cassie and Bri. For some reason, Cassie's grandma is the luckiest person on the planet and ALWAYS wins tickets their shows! And she gave Cassie the tickets this time! But we decided we would make a day of it!   The event started at Alamexo, which is a new Mexican restaurant up in Salt Lake. We had heard great things about it and were excited to go! It did not disappoint. The food was so delicious and fresh and the best part was the fresh guacamole they would make right in front of your table! Seriously, we want to go again right now just to get some more of that guacamole sent from heaven! 

Seriously the Guacamole tho... If anyone has this recipe, or has a great Guacamole recipe send it my way. Jordan and I are on the hunt for the perfect Guac. 

Chicken Enchiladas. Soooo gooood.  

I think we will be back soon. If only for the guac.

Then it was to the concert. When Cassie invited us, we were a little skeptical about how exciting it would be. But it was AMAZING! The guest singer was Hans from Frozen, and he killed it and somehow got MoTab to sing Happy by Pharrell. But I would say the highlights of the entire concert were when the MoTab sang Whistle While You Work from Snow White and all the men whistled while them women sang, and then the organist blowing our minds by playing WITH HIS FEET!!

The concert was amazing. Seriously, we take the MoTab for granted. They are AMAZING and sometimes I think we forget how blessed we are to get to hear them sing so often.

Our Fourth of July

The fourth of July has always been one of my favorite holidays! I love it!! It combines all of my favorite things: BBQ's, Family, Patriotic dressing, Parades, and Fireworks.

Last year I was in London for the 4th so this year I went all out! Our day stated with a very festive America breakfast!

The America toast has plain cream cheese, raspberry jam, and fruit to make the flag. When I decided to make it I thought it would just be cute and I was not making it to taste great. But it actually was delicious! So delicious that we made it the next day too... ha. 

After breakfast it was up to my families home in Heber where Jordan hit some balls at the driving range with my brothers. And then we went to Wallsberg to our family friend's annual BBQ where we ate delicious food and watched fireworks! It was amazing!

Gosh. I love dressing head to toe in red, white, and blue.

Look at that American sunset!! Amazing. 

Then we went back down to Provo, and before turning in for the night we drove up foothill to watch the last little bit of the Stadium of Fire/all of the Provo Residents' Fireworks. It was amazing!!

Perfect Fourth if I do say so myself.
